COMPOSITION FOR TRANSFERRIN G WALL-PAPER DESIGNS 'lO TEXTILES.

No Drawing. App1ication filed June 3,

This invention relates to a composition for transferring wall paper designs to textiles.

An object of the invention is the provision of a composition which will release the color- 8 ing matter of printed papers for applying the design intact to textiles or other materials.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a composition in the form of a 10 solution for saturating papers having printed designs thereon which will affect the dyes, inks [or paints by which the design is printed in such a manner that the design may be transferred bodily in a few seconds to a cloth or other material suitable for the purpose.

This invention will be best understood from a consideration of the following detailed description, nevertheless it is to be understood that the invention is not confined 2 to the disclosure, being susceptible of such changes and modifications which shall define no material departure from the salient features of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.

In carrying out our invention we heat 192 ounces of Water and dissolve 12 ounces of castile soap therein. After the soap has been thoroughly dissolved the following ingredients are added- Ounces. Oil of light cedarwood 4 Pure oil of turpentine 4% Ammonium hydroxide 10% 41 Sodium bi-carloonate 1 Borax 1 Methyl alcohol 2 Dram. Di-brom-hydroxymercury-fiuorescein The solution is thoroughly and vigorously agitated so that all the ingredients will be properly incorporated in solution.

When using the prepared solution a predetermined quantity is placed in a flat dish so that it will properly cover the materials 45 it is intended to saturate for the transferring of the designs on materials suitable for the purpose. The wall paper or other similarly printed paper is placed face down in the solution and completely covered for a period of from 30 to 40 seconds. The time necessary for the solution to act on the ingredients by 1926. Serial N0. 113,553.

which the design is printed depends upon the thickness of the paper. The paper is then removed from the solution and permitted to drain while lying face down on a pad of newspapers or other papers which will have sufficient absorbing qualities to take care of the excess solution draining from the paper.

A soft cloth is then lightly applied to the surface to cause blotting of the surplus liquid from the back of the design.

The material to be stamped is placed in the proper position and the design is laid face down on such material. lhe back of the printing paper is then covered with ordinary wrapping or similar paper and a tool having a hard glazed smooth surface is applied with a firm pressure to all parts of the paper, particularly those parts embracing the design. The pressure or rubbing with the tool is carried out several times. When the printing paper has been removed after the rubbing operation, it will be found that the design from the printing paper has been transferred to the textile or other material.

l/Vhat we claim is: i

1. A transferring composition comprising 192 ounces of Water, 12 ounces of castile soap, 4 ounces of oil of light cedarwood, 41 A; ounces of pure oil of turpentine, 4 ounces so of 10% ammonium hydroxide, 1 ounce of sodium bicarbonate, 1 ounce of borax, 2 ounces of methyl alcohol, and dram of di brom hydroxymercury fluorescein, 2% concentration. 35

2. A transferring composition comprising water, castile soap, oil of light cedarwood, pure oil of turpentine, 10% ammonium hydroxide, sodium bi-carbonate, borax, methyl alcohol, and di-brom-hydroxymercury-fiuorescem.

3. A transferring composition comprising 192 ounces of a solvent, 12 ounces of castile soap, 4 ounces of oil of light cedarwood, 4 ounces of pure oil of turpentine, 4% 95 ounces of 10% ammonium hydroxide, 1 ounce of sodium bi-carbonate, 1 ounce of borax, 2 ounces of methyl alcohol, and dram of dibro1n-hydroxymercury-fluorescein, 2% concentration.
